kövessék

Kövessük is a Hungarian verb form meaning “let us follow” or “we should follow.” It is derived from the verb követni, “to follow,” and is used to address a group including the speaker, urging collective action.

Grammatically, kövessük is the first-person plural form used in the hortative or subjunctive mood. It expresses a suggestion or instruction directed at others and is common in formal or instructional contexts. The form is built from the stem követ-, plus the suffix -sük/-ük, with diacritic marks indicating the vowel changes.

Usage and nuance typically center on collective action, guidelines, and speeches. Kövessük appears in written instructions, official guidelines, or rhetorical passages, where a speaker invites the audience to adopt a course of action. In casual spoken Hungarian, speakers may prefer more direct imperatives or other constructions, but kövessük remains standard in formal or collaborative communication.

Examples:

- Kövessük a protokollt az eseményen. (Let us follow the protocol at the event.)

- Kövessük példáját, és tanuljunk belőle. (Let us follow its example and learn from it.)

Related forms include követni (to follow), követem (I follow), követjük (we follow), and kövessetek (you follow, imperative plural). Kövessük stands out as a hortative device that coordinates group action and is a staple in written Hungarian to promote collective adherence to guidelines or norms.
